Outpatient Methadone Buprenorphine or Vivitrol - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Armbrust, PA.

One of the out-patient rehab alternatives for individuals in Armbrust battling with opioid dependence and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Licensed facilities and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid dependent clients, many that are opioid-based themselves and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the client doesn't experience high feelings but also does not experience intense cravings and is not experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first drug tried for this purpose, but there are a few more options currently to select from.

Methadone is an opioid and can be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to dispense the drug, which is taken on a daily basis as a pill or liquid. The cost of the med is approximately $150 monthly. Buprenorphine is also an opioid based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone that can only be administered in well-regulated medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The monthly cost of buprenorphine is about $300.00 monthly for the generic of the med. There is also a version of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a med which reverses the effects of opioids. A person consuming this version of the drug, also known as Suboxone, would find it more difficult to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and is priced approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is another med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it is an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, which is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and therefore lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
